Programming Tsunami Decoders for realistic operation, Part 2.

After adjusting all the CV's we need to ,it's now time to give the loco a run and see how it performs! We see 3 GE's pull a short train up Banksia Hill in Notch 7 without loosing too much speed, then a pair of SD40-2's in notch 7, slow to a crawl with 20 cars on the grade,their limit on the Birdwood Sub' ! Hope you enjoy!

Fantastic! Love that realism, they just barely crawl. Those BN SD40-2's look amazing running like that. Gotta love DCC eh! Great way to sum up part I with "the proof is in the pudding part II". Excellent video! Thanks for sharing Gregg.

The dynamic braking Sounds Great! I thought I was on the top of a "cut" watching those 3 fall down that hill! The -2s where Cool! Also, Looking forward to the wiring video,thats coming up! Thanks again for sharing!

Way to go. Back In the 80's railfanning EMD locos, I loved that 645 turbo whine,
Especially notching up before the train starts to move. Gregg you did your homework on those locos, they take me back track side. Thanks for the eye and ear candy. I need
to get off my bum and start programming. Thanks to you I will soon.

Thanks for a couple of very informative vid's .I'm one of those 3000 Aussies that buy from them and I too have a lot of money invested at model train stuff LOL. I buy for my group as well so as to save on the postage.They look after me like gold. I haven't had a lot of success with Tsunami and am now going in to have a play with my GP15-1
Cheers Les

Thanks Gregg!! for the info on the Radius...as always very sharp, I believe it is about time for Lord Stanley to do a video on train operation's...lol...

[@FishplateFilms]

You are so right !, Tsunami are set for the average person to run out of the box, but they are designed to be played with to get the best performance for each loco ..Like a good woman, they respond well if treated right and given the right touch!
Arrrrrrrrrrgh!!!
Love your work sir.
Cheers Gregg

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks Neil!, would you believe the exact opposite weather is down here!!, winter and rainy,plus I have 4 days off,so I spent two days filming and editing!
There you go..LOL.
Thanks for watching,cheers Gregg

[@captainbill12]

I do love the way you have the sounds setup in these decoders. You can hear all the background sounds in a realistic manner.

[@pacbeltrr38]

I just keep coming back to this series! You Sir, truly are the Trendsetter!!! 👍👍

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks Vinny,it took a lot of trial and error to work out the manual !!
Cheers mate.

[@ptmcgraw328]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your methods. Very useful.

[@Perfusionist01]

Nice work! Your SD40-2s sound like real SD40-2s in acceleration. Turbocharged EMD prime moverss seem to be "quieter" than GEs of any vintage, so I will take that into account when I fiddle with my sounds. Thanks for sharing your ideas and results.
